This only works on bbcode that has a non image as image.
But you can use any image remotely hosted in the img tag and that img can be forced to be executed as a php file. The remote image is actually php code that sets a cookie with the affiliate code, and then sets the mime via header and returns a real image. example: ![]() The img above is http://floris.vbulletin.com/stuff/vborgtest.jpg[/img] which is actually a php file that sets a cookie for floris.vbcom with user 'vborgtest' hence: stuffing. This plugin doesn't seem to check for real cookie stuffing, unless I am mistaken?

Right, except that's not really what we're talking about since there is no monetary gain in that.

Installed on 3.7.3 and when I checked "Print debug output" I can't browse to any thread.. IE7 loads the thread then I get a notice can't find the page and I go to 404 I used Google Chrome and its fine and see at the buttom it says 6 of 6 posts on this page checked for cookie stuffing but why IE stuffed with the setting? Thanks |

My reply is in [code] tags so that only license holders can see it.

This sounds good, and I'm considering installing it, but one question... wouldn't this flag up vBulletin album images because the image format is something like picture.php?id= or something?

Can you tell me what the exact message in the popup is? Also, can you copy the page source code for a page that cannot be display and PM it to me or post it here? That will help me get to the bottom of this.
